Community Information:

  • Hood River is a city and the seat of Hood River County, Oregon, United States. It is a port on the Columbia River, and is named for the nearby Hood River. As of the 2020 census, the city population was 8,313
  • Near Columbia Gorge. The gorge is a popular destination for hiking, biking, sightseeing, fishing, and water sports. The area is known for its high concentration of waterfalls, with over 90 on the Oregon side of the gorge alone. Many are along the Historic Columbia River Highway, including the notable 620-foot-high (190 m) Multnomah Falls.
  • The Columbia River gorge is a spectacular river canyon, 80 miles long and up to 4,000 feet deep, that meanders past cliffs, spires, and ridges set against nearby peaks of the PNW’s Cascade Mountain Range.
  • Hood River’s economy has traditionally been based on three industries: agriculture, tourism, and sports recreation, but since the late 1990s, high-tech industries, such as aerospace engineering (e.g. Insituand Hood Technologies), have become some of the largest employers.
  • All of these factors have led to coverage and acclaim in publications such as National Geographic Adventure, Sunset, Outside, Backpacker, Smithsonian, the New York Timestravel section, and others.[29][30] Hood River has received numerous awards from national magazines, such as “coolest small town” to “fifth best ski-town in America”.[29] Most recently, Hood River was featured on CNN as one of “11 great riverfront towns” in the United States
  • Hood River has become home to a notable concentration of visual and performing artists, writers, design professionals, business creatives, and culinary establishments. In 2018, Hood River was listed as the number four small city in the “Arts Vibrancy Index”, released by the National Center for Arts Research at Southern Methodist University.[33]

Among the arts organizations in the city is the Performing Arts Initiative, a non-profit group founded in 2016 with the goal of building a performing arts center in the Columbia River Gorge.[34] The group’s chair, Mark Steighner, was the musical director of Hood River Valley High School before retiring to head the PAI.[35]

Also based in Hood River is the Columbia Gorge Orchestra Association (CGOA), a non-profit organization that includes six ensembles. The CGOA initially consisted solely of the Mid-Columbia Sinfonietta, which began performing in 1977 in conjunction with the Chamber Music Society of Oregon. The association was formed in 2004, adding two choirs, a jazz collective, a string quartet, and a theater group throughout the next ten years.[36]

A small city with good walkability, Hood River is home to a public art walking tour and six diverse art galleries all within the small ‘downtown’ area.

  • Near the Tri-City area on Pasco/Richland/Kennewick, WA with a university, a college, lots of restaurants, airport, mall, theatre with a population of 300,000; 186 m. to Portland
